* OUTLOOK: The Jacks (31-28-5) are mired in their worst slump in two years, going 0-5-2 in their last seven. The team last won on Feb. 10 vs. Hershey. Although the Jacks are still in third place, Utica is one point behind and Hershey and Adirondack are three back. The Jacks received Steve Maltais and Kent Paynter back from the Capitals yesterday. Olaf Kolzig and Shawn Simpson remain as the goalie team with Jim Hrivnak with Washington.
